pree,
FOs on FATA has nothing to do the capts requirement in the next 3-5 years....I dint mention anything on FATA at all....My point is about the capts requirement and the current upgrades happening....apologies for posting it in the wrong thread.. I agree completely that FATA guys (Indian FOs) shouldnt be flying...
However, from what I know, no new FATAs were issued by DGCA to Indian FOs after Oct 2008....only renewals happened (I could be wrong here)...And yes, there are only a handful of guys remaining on FATA now.....You mentioned guys getting FATA recently...whats the source of that info? are those new guys or guys who got FATA renewed?
